The Making of the Alnwick Garden
Ian August was set to retire from his position as the Factor for Northumberland Alnwick Estates when the Duchess asked for his help with a new project. The Duchess of Northumberland s vision was to create a beautiful public space accessible to everyone. Eight years later, the project has become Alnwick Garden. This is the story of one woman s stubborn crusade to realize her dream, told by the man who has been by her side since the beginning. Throughout, August documented the garden s creation, and before-and-after photos record the progress of the largest Tree House in the world, the Poison Garden, the Cascade, David Austen s Rose Garden, and many other of the garden s pleasures."
Lions of the North
Written by the Duke of Northumberland himself, featuring his own photography. From the Norman Conquest to the present day, the story of Alnwick Castle and the Percy family has been woven into the fabric of British history. Lions of the North tells, from a unique and personal perspective, the stories of the Percy family and Alnwick Castle over a thousand years of British history.

The Duke has drawn on his unparalleled access to the Percy archives to paint this fascinating portrait of a British dynasty and its survival against the odds.
